SINGLE NEEDLE DIRECT DRIVE LOCK STITCHER WITH
ELECTRONIC FEEDING SYSTEM AND THREAD TRIMMER
Thank you very much for buying a BROTHER sewing machine. Before using your new machine,
please read the safety instructions and the explanations given in the instruction manual.
With industrial sewing machines, it is normal to carry out work while positioned directly in front of
moving parts such as the needle and thread take-up, and consequently there is always a danger of
injury that can be caused by these parts. Follow the instructions from training personnel and
instructors regarding safe and correct operation before operating the machine so that you will know
how to use it correctly.

[2] Notes on safety
Wait at least 5 minutes after turning off the power switch and disconnecting the power cord from the wall outlet
before opening the cover of the control box. Touching areas where high voltages are present can result in severe
injury.
Do not allow any liquids to get onto this sewing machine, otherwise fire, electric shocks or operating problems may
occur.
If any liquid gets inside the sewing machine (machine head or control box), immediately turn off the power and
disconnect the power plug from the electrical outlet, and then contact the place of purchase or a qualified
technician.
DANGER
WARNING
CAUTION
Environmental requirements
Use the sewing machine in an area which is free
from sources of strong electrical noise such as
electrical line noise or static electric noise.
Sources of strong electrical noise may cause
problems with correct operation.
Any fluctuations in the power supply voltage
should be within 10% of the rated voltage for the
machine.
Voltage fluctuations which are greater than this
may cause problems with correct operation.
The power supply capacity should be greater than
the requirements for the sewing machine's power
consumption.
Insufficient power supply capacity may cause
problems with correct operation.
Machine installation should only be carried out by
a qualified technician.
Contact your Brother dealer or a qualified
electrician for any electrical work that may need to
be done.
The sewing machine weighs approximately 35 kg
(77lb). The installation should be carried out by
two or more people.
Do not connect the power cord until installation is
complete. The machine may operate if the treadle
is depressed by mistake, which could result in
injury.
Turn off the power switch before inserting or
removing the plug, otherwise damage to the
control box could result.
Be sure to connect the ground. If the ground
connection is not secure, you run a high risk of
receiving a serious electric shock, and problems
with correct operation may also occur.
When securing the cords, do not bend the cords
excessively or fasten them too hard with staples,
otherwise there is the danger that fire or electric
shocks could occur.
Installation
The ambient temperature should be within the
range of 5C to 35C during use.
Temperatures which are lower or higher than this
may cause problems with correct operation.
The relative humidity should be within the range of
45% to 85% during use, and no dew formation
should occur in any devices.
Excessively dry or humid environments and dew
formation may cause problems with correct
operation.
In the event of an electrical storm, turn off the power
and disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet.
Lightning may cause problems with correct
operation.
Do not connect anything to the USB port other than
the USB memory. If this is not observed, problems
with operation may result.
If using a work table which has casters, the casters
should be secured in such a way so that they
cannot move.
Secure the table so that it will not move when tilting
back the machine head. If the table moves, it may
crush your feet or cause other injuries.
Use both hands to hold the machine head when
tilting it back or returning it to its original position. If
only one hand is used, the weight of the machine
head may cause your hand to slip, and your hand
may get caught.
Be sure to wear protective goggles and gloves
when handling the lubricating oil and grease, so that
they do not get into your eyes or onto your skin,
otherwise inflammation can result.
Furthermore, do not drink the oil or eat the grease
under any circumstances, as they can cause
vomiting and diarrhea.
Keep the oil out of the reach of children.
ii
S-7250A
This sewing machine should only be used by
operators who have received the necessary training
in safe use beforehand.
The sewing machine should not be used for any
applications other than sewing.
Be sure to wear protective goggles when using the
machine.
If goggles are not worn, there is the danger that if a
needle breaks, parts of the broken needle may enter
your eyes and injury may result.
Turn off the power switch at the following times.
The machine may operate if the treadle is
depressed by mistake, which could result in injury.
When threading the needle
When replacing the bobbin and needle
When not using the machine and when leaving
the machine unattended
If using a work table which has casters, the casters
should be secured in such a way so that they
cannot move.
CAUTION
Sewing
Attach all safety devices before using the sewing
machine. If the machine is used without these
devices attached, injury may result.
Do not touch any of the moving parts or press any
objects against the machine while sewing, as this
may result in personal injury or damage to the
machine.

back the machine head. If the table moves, it may
crush your feet or cause other injuries.
Use both hands to hold the machine head when
tilting it back or returning it to its original position. If
only one hand is used, the weight of the machine
head may cause your hand to slip, and your hand
may get caught.
If an error occurs in machine operation, or if
abnormal noises or smells are noticed, immediately
turn off the power switch. Then contact your nearest
Brother dealer or a qualified technician.
If the machine develops a problem, contact your
nearest Brother dealer or a qualified technician.
Cleaning
Turn off the power switch before carrying out
cleaning. The machine may operate if the treadle is
depressed by mistake, which could result in injury.
Secure the table so that it will not move when tilting
back the machine head. If the table moves, it may
crush your feet or cause other injuries.

depressed by mistake, which could result in injury.
When carrying out inspection, adjustment and
maintenance
When replacing consumable parts such as the
rotary hook and knife
Always be sure to turn off the power switch and then
wait one minute before opening the pulley cover. If
you touch the surface of the motor, it may cause
burns.
If the power switch needs to be left on when carrying
out some adjustment, make sure that you switch the
sewing machine to maintenance mode. Pay careful
attention to safety.
Be sure to wear protective goggles and gloves when
handling the lubricating oil and grease, so that they
do not get into your eyes or onto your skin,
otherwise inflammation can result.
Furthermore, do not drink the oil or eat the grease
under any circumstances, as they can cause
vomiting and diarrhea.
